In “Lebanon,” SUPERNATURAL’s 300th episode, a relatively normal quest for Sam (Jared Padalecki) and Dean (Jensen Ackles) takes a drastic turn when the brothers get the shock of their lives: their long-dead father John (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) returns.

The reunion in the milestone hour—which airs Thursday, February 7—is a big one for the show, as Morgan hasn’t physically appeared on-screen since the end of season 2. (All the way back in 2007.) And with the brothers struggling to find a way to save Dean, who has been grappling with Michael being trapped in his head, their father’s presence could be just what they need.

SUPERNATURAL co-showrunner Andrew Dabb (who co-wrote the episode with Meredith Glynn) teased the familial reunion, what’s in store in the hour, and praised the crew that helped bring the series to this milestone… Read more

SUPERNATURAL is celebrating its 300th episode on Thursday, February 7 on The CW.

The milestone is a big one, of course. Not only is the number extraordinarily rare—only a handful of primetime shows currently on the air (including THE SIMPSONS, LAW & ORDER: SPECIAL VICTIMS UNIT, and GREY’S ANATOMY) have reached that mark, but Jeffrey Dean Morgan finally returns to the show for a guest spot.

In case you haven’t heard, there’s a lot of TV. A lot. Close to 500 scripted shows, in fact. That’s made these “end of year” lists absolutely brutal.

So here are a few caveats:

1) This is a hybrid list of the best episodes and shows I watched this year. My rules were I could only have one overlap with show and episode (which also happens to be my personal pick for best show/episode of the year) and I couldn’t pick a show if I hadn’t finished every episode that aired in 2018. (That also means shows I really have been enjoying like KIDDING and ESCAPE FROM DANNEMORA aren’t on the list. There just are not enough hours in the day.)

2) Given the sheer amount of TV, it’s quite possible/probable your favorite isn’t represented here. I’m sorry! But feel free to let me know what particularly excited you this year in the comments.
